On June 8th the remainder of the 90th Division arrived at Utah-Beach and began debarkation at noon. By midnight all foot elements had assembled in their allocated positions in a "goose-egg" bounded by Turqueville, Reuville, Audouville-la-Hubert, and Ecoquenéauville, with the Division command post in the village of Loutres.
Warning orders were received that evening. "The 90th will attack..." This was what the long months of training were for, the marching and crawling and the endless, repetitious harping on details. Schooldays had ended, and now began the final examinations.
